“Grievance policies; your enthusiasm can be felt BUT don’t stop reading! Grievance policies are important to local government organizations given the rise in legal protections for employees, the role of grievance in indicating managerial effectiveness, and the role they play in giving employees a voice in adverse employment decisions.
